What is the best valued pedometer?
Pedometer ($12 to $55) and speed-and-location monitor ($100 to $200). Pedometers, which track steps taken, distance covered, and calories burned, may help motivate you to be more active. In our October 2004 report on Pedometers (available to subscribers), we rated the FreeStyle Tracer as a Best Buy for most exercise walkers. Runners, hikers, or serious exercise walkers may want to spend more for devices that also monitor their speed and, in models that include a global-positioning-system device, their location.
